Agreed, Steve. It was always my impression that Paterno was an entirely decent guy . . . so decent that he could scarcely comprehend the evil that Sandusky was involved in. Whenever I saw Paterno on tv, he reminded me — physically, esp. as he aged — of my late father. And my father would have reacted in the same way; he wouldn’t have been able even to comprehend what Sandusky was accused of and would have shit it out.
By the way, did you read where Sandusky’s adult son has been arrested and charged with sexual assault of a minor? Evidently his victim(s) were teenage girls. Has Sandusky’s wife ever discussed her husband’s perverse practices? From all I read, she was well aware of what was going on but turned a blond eye, perhaps because it kept hubby from turning his attentions to her. Sandusky had a very odd childhood . . .
Oops! Apologies for the infelicitous typo. He would have SHUT it out.
